A gripping, inspiring and emotional tale of a visionary, Anand Kumar might be 3 hours long but it never lost the interest it creates over the audience and that is where Super 30 scores all thanks to the intelligent & crisp direction, an almost perfect casting and some really maverick performances which is top-lined by the mighty Hrithik Roshan. Here is why we really recommend you to watch the endearing as well as inspiring biopic!

Plot : A genius, Anand Kumar played by Hrithik Roshan is all ready to get enrolled in one of the most esteemed universities of the world only if he had wealth and his path to glory wasn’t hindered by the many roadblocks which the society has. His father, Rajendra Kumar, played beautifully by Virendra Saxena is a typical father who will go miles just to make his child’s dream come true. His elder brother, Pranav Kumar, played brilliantly by Nandish Singh is also the same loving and supporting brother who wants his younger’s brother’s dreams to come true. Anand, after facing major setbacks in life post his cancellation of achieving his dream, even goes at a level where he has to sell papad to earn a living. The lover of his life, Ritu Rashmi played by Mrunal Thakur supports him and tries to get a job of a teacher in his father’s elite coaching institute. The offer made by Aditya Srivastava who plays Mrunal’s father obviously expects a vicious return from Anand is readily excepted by Anand as he is getting both money and a field of work which he adores. He decodes the money-lynching business proposal which this coaching institute offers and instantly gets a reality-check and stars his own institure called Super 30 which offers to teach all the downtrodden students for free who aspire to become IIT students. What happens next is beautiful, inspiring, endearing and teaches one a lesson or two when it comes to life!

Performances : To say the least about that one actor who put a stop over the dominance of the three Khans in the industry, Hrithik Roshan is the sole shining light in Super 30 hands down. The superstar carries the complete film on his shoulders just like his previous films. The bonafide actor is back is India’s last bonafide superstar! He proves that he’s still the same enthusiastic actor brimming with his natural ways of making a character his own. The maturity shows yet the freshness is still intact! The other actors especially Pankaj Tripathi and Amit Sadh are nothing less than brilliant in their acts where they were razor-sharp in their portrayal. Not to forget, Nandish Singh as Anand’s brother and Virendra Saxena as his father are perfectly cast actors where they live and look like the characters they play in the film.

What We Liked : The Anand Kumar biopic is a winner as it is a perfect amalgamation of emotions! It teaches one how to be victorious no matter how big the roadblocks are. Also, the disparity between elite English medium coaching institutes & Anand’s institute is shown with an instant & longing effect. And it makes a lot of sense & makes you think! The whole narration and the approach to a story which must have been told is dealt with utmost care and if it doesn’t inspire you, God knows what will. And lastly, for the fact that Hrithik Roshan is back and how!

What We Didn’t : The whole scene where Anand Kumar’s students take on the goons sent by the primary villain is too much to process. We know that Anand Kumar has been attacked several times but we feel what was shown is just an epic example of taking cinematic liberty to another level. The students from the first batch of Anand Kumar surely won’t approve this.
